Right now Detroit is throwing state and federal money down a hole. What this allows them to do is void all city contracts, especially union contracts, and renegotiate. Plus he can remove the corrupt and appoint city managers that can get finances under control.

If you thought the previous union battle was vicious, get ready for this one. The governor is about to cut off a very large money spigot to the democrats. I expect riots.

maybe but given their serious decline in population it’s a better time to have them now, than before.

As I understand the Emergency Financial Manager Law, this person has 18 months to work a miracle. I don't know his or hers scope of power, but perhaps they need to hire quite a number of individuals each to take a department and re-engineer them and or shut them down.

Case in point, the Water Dept is a Profit Center that supplies the burbs with Water, but it is horribly run.

How do they spin off the Electrical Grid they run, their Mass Transit that is always in the red, not to mention "The People Mover". The list goes on and on...

As a side note, in terms of rabble-rowsers going their to cause trouble, I think the Rev. Jacksonnnnnn ( Buckley pronuciation ) is pre-occupied with his Son who is now or soon to be a felon and the other Rev is doing a TV show if my memory is correct. 2 small miracles for Gov. Snyder to say the least....

That sucks, spring walleye fishing is just around the corner. Some of the best is right out in front of the Joe. Suppose turret mounted 50 cal. Is an option. ;)

Lay off all the "social service" people, and eliminate any welfare benefits to any resident of Detroit. Within a year, the parasites will have moved out to find new host municipalities, and Detroit would start recovery.
